State investigators are looking into allegations K12 uses improperly certified teachers and asked employees to help cover up the practice.
In emails, K12 officials tell certified teachers to sign class rosters that included students they hadn’t taught.
But in a conference call with investors, K12 CEO Ron Packard told investors today that the company used only teachers certified in Florida.
Packard called the allegations, "Rumor mongering and absurd extrapolation”.
Packard says all teachers are certified in Florida; they just might not be certified in the subject or grade they're teaching.
"In our internal review we have only identified minor mistakes in matching the appropriate grade and course certifications with specific students in courses", said Packard.
But he says the company is cooperating with the investigation.
